Trosolwyg
Rwy'n ecolegydd rhwydwaith sydd â diddordeb mewn sut mae ecosystemau yn ymateb i newidiadau naturiol ac anthropogenig. Mae fy ngwaith yn canolbwyntio'n bennaf ar ryngweithiadau rhyng-benodol, o beillio hyd at ysglyfaethu. Fy nod yw cyfuno'r rhyngweithiadau hyn yn rhwydweithiau cymhleth sy'n cynrychioli strwythur a swyddogaeth systemau'r byd go iawn - mae hyn yn aml yn anodd iawn!
Y rheswm dros gynnal yr ymchwil hon yw darparu rhagfynegiadau ar gyfer amrywiaeth o wahanol gymwysiadau, gan gynnwys bioreolaeth, adfer a chadwraeth. Symud tuag at ecoleg ragfynegol, sy'n dibynnu ar ddealltwriaeth fanwl o ryngweithio uniongyrchol ac anuniongyrchol o fewn ecosystemau, yw nod eithaf fy ymchwil.
